Spurs (H) Post Match Thread

My game , my passion , my love is fucked.
Stick VAR up your arse , it is ruining the best sport on the planet.

Fair enough as any handball leading to a goal is now ruled out but I bet it wouldn’t have been ruled out for some teams but how the hell can it not see the Rodri penalty in the first half. Oliver gave us the usual nothing all game but Var is being used selectively at the moment and as we all knew, we would be the most penalised team re decisions not in our favour. But dropped points are as down to shocking defending and finishing as var. 30 shots to 3

 

[homerdog]

True, we score our chances and this VAR doesn't matter

But we didn't, so VAR does matter. Is it that hard to understand?

 

[I'm With Stupid]

It was probably the correct decision by the letter of the law, but it's the fact that it comes against the same opponents that weren't pulled up for an identical infringement against us that pisses me off.

Having said all that, that second half was nowhere near good enough around the box.

 

[argyle]

This new handball rule is the joke.

 

[Burtonblue]

VAR is only here to stop city,,,end of

100% agree

 

[mancityscot]

other team's fans will soon find out how we feel right now. Its not even funny how much VAR will destroy football. the game's dead

 

[SatOnTheWall]

End of day he day 29 chances and two goals . Got what we deserved out of that game . Shit VAR but shouldn’t have needed it

You and I and everyone here knows it should have been 3 goals, and that would have been enough.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

I told you this was going to be used to fuck us over...the perfect weapon.

our finishing is going to stop us this year if it continues like this.

 

[babyape]

I imagine there was a huge cheer at Stockley Park when they rewound that tape and saw something they could use to disallow it.

VAR is ruining the game

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Farcical, they get a blatant hand ball VAR goal against us in the CL and we get shafted with a ball that brushes off Laportes arm and doesn't alter the ball's flight path, good grief. Couldn't wait to chalk it off could they? Funny how they failed to notice Lamella wrestling our guy to the floor in the box in the first half. We are still losing out big time on these important VAR decisions.

 

[OntarioBlue]

For all those on here, and there are many, who are in favour of VAR, you have just got what you deserve. I stand by my previously stated opinion that refereeing mistakes are part of the game and they balance out eventually.

VAR will ruin the game. They are making decisions on things that nobody has seen or appealed for. What happened to “clear and obvious” ? That didn’t last long.

 

[BosnianBlue]

Just said in the match thread - The PiGMOL will decide the destination of the Premier League title this season.

Fucking JOKE. Didn't give the penalty shout but spotted that handball.

FUCKING CHEATS: PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

two penalty shouts. The one on Lapoorte is as big as the first one.

 

[simon23]

Total and utter disgrace. No different to llorente. Absolute joke.

the rule has changed as well however..now its accidental or deliberate. it does come off his arm so under the new rules its not arguable.

 

[bobmcfc]

Loved pep and Sergio hug. Just gotta stick together as a team and not let those decisions grind us down

 

[cjn]

What’s really struck me watching the first two weeks, and especially today, is that half our squad look like they aren’t even close to full fitness yet. KDB and Sterling were both gassed for the last twenty or thirty minutes, Kun wasn't pressing in the second half, Bernardo was a little bit sluggish, Gundo looks like he's carrying an extra 10 pounds. I really wonder if not being able to train at more than half speed during our shambolic preseason tour cost us two points today.

 

[mccity]

I thought our pressing was fantastic. We play like that all season and we'll be fine. We restricted the Chamipons League finalists to just two chances.

We're unlucky that they're clinical.

 

[RandomJ]

Not the end of the world. The way the dippers are playing they will drop points. We need to take our chances. Can blame VAR all you want but if we put away our chances we'd have pissed this game.

 

[super_city_si]

We did well to win so much with one corrupt ref trying to stop us. We’re fucked now they’ve added another and given him zoom and slow mo replays

 

[bballchinaski]

oh boy, between tottenham scoring the two times they had a shot on goal and that very shaky var decision this was a bit of a travesty. City should've won by 4 but such is football
